CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW

Figs' sweet succulence makes it a natural tonic for restoring energy and vitality. Rich in ojas and sugars, they are useful for rejuvenation after hard labor or child birth. They clean the mouth and remove foul taste.

Unlike chilis that ignite a short-lived metabolic flare-up, almonds nourish a deep, slow burning metabolic fire that simmers with lasting warmth. Almond's hearty fuel will sustain you through a long workday. Their mild stimulating qualities keep you warm even as the thermometer starts to dip in Autumn. Almond protein also supports muscle growth, and are an especially valuable protein source for vegetarians.

Most of us feel a little frazzled these days. We live demanding lives, we're on the go, and some of us struggle with an over-active nervous system. Ayurveda has some unique tips to ground your nerves. Every nerve in your body is coated in fats, called the myelin sheath, that insulates, protects, and guides the electric impulses of your neurons. Without this protective fatty barrier, your signals will go haywire, and be scattered. Nourishing this fatty layer of the nervous system is key to settling your mind.

Almonds are rich in natural oils and fatty acids, from 36 to 60% by weight. Almonds and sunflower seed are also the top two whole food sources of fat soluble vitamin E. By adding almonds to your diet, you will feel calmer and more at ease, and improve your ability to think a little clearer. Almond also contains minerals like magnesium that support muscle relaxation. In the ancient science of Ayurveda, almonds have been used to preserve intelligence for thousands of years.

Almond & Fig Milkshake is a delightful simple and effective way to enjoy these two nourishing ingredients. Pureed into a liquid, this milkshake is ideal way to strengthen your body after exhaustion by hard labor or weakened by illness.
